Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a 12x10-inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl, combine the grated cheese, chopped dill, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Sprinkle the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pastry, pressing gently to help it adhere.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the pastry into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices, each about 1 inch thick.
- Place the slices cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently twist each slice to create a spiral shape, then brush the tops with beaten egg.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. The cheese should be melted and bubbly.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
These twists are best served warm but can be enjoyed at room temperature. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to crisp up. You can substitute the herbs with dried versions (use 1 teaspoon each) if fresh aren't available. For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
